CUVVSP35B - Produce paintings

Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce paintings through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under limited supervision.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the following units:CUVCOR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own workCUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent the concept.Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:CUVCRS08B Document the work progressCUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work.

Elements of Competency

Performance Criteria

Element: Prepare and maintain resources for painting.

Correctly identify and select tools, equipment and materials required for the production of paintings.

Store tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace and safety requirements.

Element: Explore painting techniques to plan work.

Assess the capabilities of techniques, tools, equipment and materials for different types of painting.

Use and/or combine different techniques, tools, equipment and materials to determine and extend capabilities.

Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed paintings based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information.

Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision.

Select techniques based on the conceptual vision.

Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements.

Element: Realise paintings.

Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed paintings based on the plan of work.

Safely use and adapt techniques, tools, equipment and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision.

Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of paintings which demonstrates a command of selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision

knowledge of materials and tools and how they are used and extended in painting.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple paintings or a single major work.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of paintings in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work

verbal and written reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment to produce paintings.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to read product safety labels

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, and cost.

Required knowledge:

the physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used in painting

work space requirements for painting, including ways of organising and maintaining space

ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques and materials to achieve different effects in painting

general knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to the production of paintings

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in painting

general knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for painting

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in painting

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to painting.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Tools and equipment may include:

brushes

knives

rags

rollers

scrapers (found or made)

spatulas

sponges

spray painting equipment

sticks.

Materials may include:

a range of glues

acrylic paints

bark

binders, extenders

boards

canvas

cardboard

fabric

gesso, impasto

glass

gouache, watercolour, tempera

metal

oil paints

paper

perspex

shellac

wood.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

process-specific procedures

recycling

reporting

safety

use of materials.

Safety requirements would be in accordance with:

Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

bench space, easels

light

ventilation

wet and dry areas.

Assessing the capabilities of the techniques, tools and materials may involve:

experimenting directly onto work in progress

producing test pieces or samples

systematically testing a range of processes.

Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques, which may include:

chiaroscuro

layering using resist

monoprinting

sgraffito

stencilling, masking.

Techniques may also include extending and building upon (e.g. by combining) the following techniques:

application of a particular colour range and linear work to produce expressive paintings

exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:

elements and principles of design

the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context

the subject matter or theme for the paintings, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to:

access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques

consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed paintings

ease of application of the techniques

personal affinity with the techniques.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
